Jeep Van Wormer's Stellar Weekend Yields First Two Wins; Heads to Winston Tomorrow
(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) The Iron Motorsports team and driver Jeep Van Wormer enjoyed a fantastic weekend in the Buckeye State of Ohio from April 16-18, as they picked up their first two victories of the 2010 racing season! Jeep reached victory lane for the first time in the '10 campaign on Saturday night at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The Pinconning, Michigan native set fast time in qualifying, won his heat race, and captured his 25th career American Late Model Series (ALMS) feature win at the "Big E" on Saturday. Jeep took home the $2,000 top prize over Matt Miller, Rusty Schlenk, Steve Casebolt, and Wayne Chinn.
On Sunday, the #55 team dropped into the Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio for a $1,200 to win UMP DIRTcar Series weekly event. Jeep ran third in heat race action, but was later inverted to the pole position for the main event. He then ran away and hid from the competition in the 30-lap A-Main to score the $1,200 triumph over Brian Ruhlman, Rusty Schlenk, Jason Jameson, and Jeremy Canada.
Earlier in the three-race weekend, the Iron Motorsports team invaded the Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio on Friday evening for a $2,000 to win ALMS show. Jeep ran third in his heat race and later started the feature event from the tenth position. His Rocket racecar was on a rail during the A-Main and Jeep worked his way past seven competitors en route to a solid third place performance behind winner Doug Drown and runner-up Rusty Schlenk.

"We had a very good weekend and I am really pumped up about this new Rocket car," quoted Van Wormer this week. "It was fast all weekend, but we had a little scare with overheating at Eldora. Luckily, I made it to the checkers and we got the first win of the season at our favorite track. Then on Sunday at Waynesfield, we caught a break by getting inverted to the pole position, but our car was good enough to capitalize on the front row starting spot. Hopefully, we can continue running up front and shoot for our third win of the season in the Player Hater 50 on Friday!"
Up next, the IMS team will tackle the 4th Annual 'Player Hater 50' at the Winston Speedway in Rothbury, Michigan. The UMP DIRTcar Series sanctioned event will be held on Friday, April 23 at Winston and will pay $2,000 to the winner. This is the only scheduled race for the Iron Motorsports team this weekend.
